lyrics

Boker ekhad bifkikhat einai,
Ra-iti nave b'toch sde milkhama,
Matai nifros shtikhei hakhavrut,
Ha-im nikhye ha-im namut?

Anashim ovrim b'kheshkat khalom,
Rishrush he-anaf k'mo nigun sh'vakha,
Y'ladim m'sakhakim b'kotlei harkhov,
V'chach nivr'a ha-ahava ha-akhava.

Matai tagia eit lashalom?
Matai tagia eit lashalom?
Shalom shalom al kol Yisrael,
Shalom shalom al kol Yishmael,
Kol kore mitoch ha-afeila,
Matai tagia eit lashalom?

Khoref karev v'hakhayal lokhem,
Mashiakh hanes,
V'ruakh hashkhina,
Bo-u v'narima et diglei hazman,
Kol ha-am, kol ekhad, kol arev.

--------------------------

(translation)

One morning when I opened my eyes,
I saw an oasis in the midst of a battlefield;
When shall we spread out the carpets of friendship?
Will we live? Will we die?

People pass by in the darkness of a dream;
There is a rustling of a branch, like a song of praise;
Children play along the walls at the sides of the streets -
And thus love and fraternity is created.

When will the time of peace arrive?
When will the time of peace arrive?
Peace upon Israel!
Peace upon Ishmael!
A voice calls from within the dark -
When will the time of peace arrive?

Winter is coming and the soldier does battle;
The one who works a miracle,
and the spirit of the heavenly presence;
Come let us raise up the banners of our time -
The entire nation, everyone, anyone who would join us.
